through his hair.  
     
    By the end of the week, Kelly’s nerves were getting the best of her. She’d waited all week to find out the results of Emma’s blood work. Battling with her symptoms, very little sleep and a stack of piling bills, she was near the end of her rope. She anxiously waited by the phone all day Friday, hoping the doctor’s office would call.    
     
    As she waited by the phone that afternoon, she thought about her and Dave’s relationship. Although they’d only went on one actual date and he’d hung out with them several times, she sensed a deep connection with him. She was able to be herself around him, despite the insane amount of money he had, and she was completely comfortable with him. It was apparent that he obviously cared a great deal for Emma. Still she couldn’t get over the fact that he offered to pay for all of Emma’s medical needs—especially without even knowing what they actually were yet. That was the news she was still waiting for.  
     
    She must’ve checked on Emma a dozen times in the last few hours as she nervously waited for the phone to ring with some glimmer of hope that her daughter was going to be fine. As far as Kelly remembered, the only other time she’d been this anxious over Emma was when she was nearing her due date. She couldn’t wait to meet her baby girl, she’d already picked out her name: Emma Renee. Emma because she liked the name and Renee as a tribute to her mother. In some ways, Emma even reminded Kelly of her mom; she certainly had her mom’s sense of humor.  
     
    Just after two o’clock, Kelly’s phone rang; it was the doctor’s office. She took a deep breath as she answered the phone. Her heart raced as she responded to the phone and she could hear her pulse pounding in her ears.  
     
    “Hi, this is Wendy with Dr. Hinton’s office. May I speak to Kelly, please?”  
     
    “This is her.”  
     
    “Hi Kelly, Dr. Hinton wanted me to call you regarding Emma’s lab results that came in today.”  
     
    Kelly held her breath, “What did they say?”  
     
    “Dr. Hinton would like you to come in to discuss them. Can you make it in around 4:30 today?”  
     
    “Uh,” Kelly was caught off guard. This had to be bad if they wanted her to come in. “I guess so. I’ll have to call my friend to see if she can come sit with Emma, but I don’t think it’ll be a problem.”  
     
    “Okay, great. We’ll see you then.”  
     
    “Wait, are they bad? Is that why I have to come in?”  
     
    “There were some things that appeared on her labs that he’d like to explain to you in person and answer any questions you may have.”  
     
    “But were they bad?”  
     
    Wendy wasn’t at liberty to say. “I’m sorry, you’ll have to come in and see the doctor.”  
     
    When Kelly hung up with the doctor’s office, her gut dropped and she felt like she was going to vomit. After she had checked on Emma, she headed to the kitchen call Dawn. As she dialed the number, she began coming unglued.  
     
    “Hello?”  
     
    “Dawn, the doctor’s office called today,” she stopped. A lump began to form in her throat as her words escaped her.  
     
    “What’d they say?”  
     
    “They said that I have to come in.”  
     
    “Why? Is everything alright?”  
     
    “I don’t know. They wouldn’t tell me anything over the phone.”  
     
    “Do you need me to come sit with Emma for you while you go or does she need to go to the appointment with you?”  
     
    “No, she doesn’t need to go. Would you come over?”  
     
    “Sure, I’ll come right now.” She could hear Kelly beginning to break down on the other end of the phone. “It’s going to be okay. We’re here for you guys. I’m on my way.”  
     
    “T-thank you,” Kelly finally mustered. “I’ll see you when you get here.”  
     
    Within 20 minutes, she was pulling into the driveway. Kelly was waiting for her on the front porch. The fresh air seemed to
